Adjuster agent declines coverage with a defensible action_ref

Every coverage denial mints a portable, signed receipt. Bad-faith plaintiffs see the full action_ref trail.

01Scenario

A carrier's adjuster agent updates a case to Closed Without Pay. State regulators and the other side's lawyer might contest that decision later, so the carrier needs a tamper-evident record of who decided what, when, and why.

claim.deny.with_reason mints a receipt with the policy ID, loss date, the adjuster agent's credential pill, and a SHA-256 reference to the denial letter PDF. The receipt carries a jurisdiction tag (like US-CA), so verification downstream follows that state's bad-faith rules.

The insured person or their lawyer can pull a JSONL receipt from a regulatory filing and check it offline. No login, no Salesforce, no callout needed. The Ed25519 signature settles it.

  -H 'content-type: application/json' \

07Economics

Per-denial fee	$0.50
Free tier	100/mo
Carrier scale	A mid-size carrier with about 5k denials a month pays $499/mo (capped)
Bad-faith defense	Each denial gets one receipt: a signed, dated, portable record
Regulator pull	State insurance departments verify directly from JSONL

08Compliance and audit shape

Adjuster license number embedded in receipt (state-bar-style credential pill).
Denial letter hash binds the receipt to the exact PDF served to the insured.
Jurisdiction field drives state-specific verification rules (CA, NY, TX, FL).
The receipt survives any change to the underlying case. The action_ref can't be altered.
Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act exposure: every denial event is now a signed record.
